cardboard replica--crab claw --FINISHED!!

    dun dun duh daahh--- vuala it es finished. : D
and the claw moves xp  ( the top part can open and close : ) )  in order to do that i folded long stripes of cardboard back and forth lik an acordian and gluded it under neath the claw , giving it a spring action kinda thing . that was the most difficult part of this project to me. constuction the arm with the  spikes was one of the easyer parts.  once the claw was movale i added one of the final touches - the teeth of the claw. that was was the easyest part now that i think of it lol but yea .  over all this was a challenging procces and i think my building a mini replica helped me a lot

cardboard updates

 this is what i have as of tuesday xp its going to be finish ed thursday :)

human dot pics

 
this was my favorite of my 2 dot  compositions. i though we had to re interprit the original dot picture and take a photo of it.. but i later found out ( after it was too lte ) that we just had to reinterprit it .. not reinact it. oh well . :)  the first thing i saw with my dot composition was 2 fish swimming around eachother.. but since we had to be in the picture and take the picture .. and i didnt have any fish i could use lol , so instead i did the composition above with me and my girlfriend :)  the bigger dots where supposed to represent out heads but now that i look at it more our bodies would be the bigger dots and our elbow and hands would be the smaller ones.

fcal points in black in white part one

 
we had to choose a black and white picture cut from newspaper articles. the picture i chose was of this football play.  again we had to chose only six circles varying in sizes , ad i chose to focus on the helmets and rhe football. so , originally looking at the picture upside down , i chose where the dots would fit best. the picture above was my product. xp i thought it represented it quite well :) .

addictive..quizical..happy.... 0.o im seeing dots

 
this assignment required us to create a six circle piece that had to represent our word. this is pretty much the same assignment as the squares and circles -- so basic concetps xp

cardboard claw cont..

 
slowly but surely its coming along, surprisingly i successfully got the curves and shape of the back side of the claw : D the huge tube coming out of it is the arm ligament that will make it mobile and move like a real claw xp more updates as the process goes on :p

2d reading 1/26/11

this reading informed me about some of the basics of art such as proximity, space, balance, symetry, depth, and more. after reading it i realized that those concepts were what we hve been trying to learn and acomplish this week with the cirlce project and well as last week with the square projects. i now have a better understanding of what we were doign exactly and why. hehe i probably should have read them earlyer but yea xp. either way it was an interesting read.
